Intro to Meditation

Phiroozeh Petigara

Can't turn off your mind? Join us to learn basics of meditation, which reduces mental chatter, decreases stress, and improves sleep.

Note: this is a 3-week series, meeting Oct. 17, 24, and 31, from 11 am-12:30 pm PST.*****You don&#x27;t have to be a monk to meditate. You don&#x27;t have to go to a mountain retreat for a month or meditate every day for 3 hours.In this workshop, you will learn how to make meditation work for you. To meet you where you are. If you have a very stressed, busy, anxious mind, if you have trouble falling and staying asleep due to mental chatter, this class is for you.I teach folks to work with their humanity, not against it. I teach you to find a balance between holding yourself accountable and also being gentle with your own habits and blockages, working to shift them slowly and intentionally.I use an easy approach, starting with the basics, teaching folks to sit for just 5 minutes a day. That is enough!*******************In this class, you will learn:~ finding a comfortable meditation posture~ breathing exercises (called pranayama) to settle the body and prepare the mind ~ simple breath awareness meditation~ working with inner blockages and judgements ~ most importantly: tools for starting slow and making the practice stick!*******************Materials:Dress comfortably. Find a quiet space to do the workshop. Have your device fully charged and good wifi so you&#x27;re not interrupted. Have a notebook on hand for recording pointers. Sit somewhere comfortable.*******************Phiroozeh Petigara is a holistic healer, self-care educator and writer. She prioritizes BIPOC (black, indigenous, people of color) in her offerings.
